Joseph Charles Macaluso, 40, of Saratoga Springs, passed away on February 18, 2025 at Northern Westchester Hospital after battling cancer.

"Joey" as he was known by his friends and family, was born on May 15, 1984, in Carmel, NY and was the beloved son of Joseph and Cheryl (Eible) Macaluso. He was a proud graduate of Carmel High School and Siena College, where he earned his bachelor's degree in accounting. He worked as a recruiter for Robert Half International in Albany for almost 15 years.

Known for his warmth, enthusiasm to talk to anybody and variety of interests, Joey had an innate ability to connect with others. His passions included collecting antiques and coins (among many other things), cooking, traveling and music. Through these interests, he forged lifelong friendships.

Joey is survived by his parents, Joseph and Cheryl; his girlfriend, Meagan O'Neill; his sisters and their husbands, Joanna and Carlo Fazio and Jessica and Brendan Burgdorf; his nephews, Roméo, Calvin, and Reid; his grandparents, Archilia Macaluso and Charles and Joanne Eible; as well as a large, loving extended family of aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.

Calling hours will be held on Monday from 3-7 pm. A funeral service will take place on Tuesday at 11 am. Both will be held at the McHoul Funeral Home, Inc., 895 Route 82, Hopewell Junction.

Joseph will be dearly missed, but his spirit, kindness, and the countless memories he leaves behind will forever live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
